Dev Logs and Developments #000: 90 Days after Demo Launch... What's Next?

Wow! Hi, I can't believe that it's been over 3 months since the release of DMG! The insights shown above are for the demo, as of the time I publish this post! So close! Unfortunately, I think it's a little too close to do anything special,  but maybe the next milestone could be?  300 downloads by November 30th, 2025. If we can reach those numbers, perhaps I can whip up something to kick off the new year...? To those who have contributed to the >100 downloads, I appreciate you trying out my game, and I hope you enjoyed it so far! Those who haven't yet... You've got homework to do! Please share the game with your friends, family, and more! 

"So... What's next for DMG?" I hear you asking. Development for DMG hasn't stopped entirely; it's only slowed significantly. I spent the entirety of February 2025 coding, designing the characters and sprites BY MYSELF for almost 25 days STRAIGHT. I NEED help. At minimum, A CG Artist, Background Artist, Additional Sprite Artist, Assistant Writer,  Composer, and AT LEAST one Programmer OR Main Sprite Artist. I can only do so much on my own, and I'm proud of what I've done thus far, but I'd need help before I continue "all hands on deck" levels of development. Maybe I'll put some feelers out; get some help in a more official and unbiased way. That's also to say the story is still in development. The Dungeon Master and his intrepid heroes find themselves in a new, yet familiar world, but how will they escape it? 

"What's going to happen in the meantime?" Again, I hear you asking with my omnipotent telepathy. Currently, I'm writing a personal, collaborative project that I may tease art of throughout this year. To keep up with updates on that and news about DMG, keep in touch with me over on Bluesky (<----- VERY NSFW, 18+ LIKES, POSTS, AND REPOSTS. You have been warned.) for the time being. If there's any significant progress or something of note to discuss about developing A Dungeon Master's Guide Through the Friendzone, a post about it and more will be made here on the itch page!

Thank you once again,

Akai
